Luigi wasn't lower class, tho? You could try to argue his family was middle class but even that's a stretch, his grandfather donated a million dollars on a single event and Luigi attended both a Private High School where he was Valedictorian and he had a Masters Degree from Ivy League University of Pennsylvania.

Worker class is the true unifier. You can be lower, mid, and upper worker class.

If you have to work to live, you're working class. If your employer controls a significant portion of your life and time, you're working class.

I guess people from lower class can't stand for themselves as they are busy surviving. Revolutionnary figures were often from middle class (Lenine, Che...)

As I understand it his family owns multiple resorts and real estate and has multiple companies. Not really what I'd call lower class.

Neither were most revolutionaries. This is a pattern that has long historical support.

Well, except the guy came from a well-off family and had a good higher education. Not really a “lower-class” type, but certainly someone who could be rallied behind.

If they were Romans, they'd pile their shields on them
